Angeboten wird „Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) CDM 1 + CDM C SE | 3.0 High-End Heimkino Front-Set | Esche Schwarz“ von B&W als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Kompaktlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9782099338 endet am 24.09.2026 um 22:29 Uhr.
Good condition makes this a reasonably solid buy, and at €380 it sits a bit above the €322 median but still inside the €261–€385 middle band, so it reads as fair-to-slightly firm rather than cheap or stretched. It is not a bargain at this level, but it is also not an aggressive ask for a clean example.
That matters because the CDM1 has a strong reputation for open, coherent midrange and genuinely pleasing musicality in a compact standmount. If the cabinets, tweeters, and surrounds are in good shape and it comes complete, this is the kind of older B&W that still rewards a careful listener with real hi-fi charm; I’d buy on condition and provenance more than on price upside.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bowers & Wilkins traces its origins to 1966 in Worthing, West Sussex, England, when John Bowers, a passionate audio enthusiast and former electronics shop owner, founded the company with the help of a £10,000 bequest from a satisfied customer, Miss Knight. Bowers, who had honed his speaker-building skills as a hobby while running a radio and TV rental shop with partner Roy Wilkins, launched the venture from the back of that very shop. This modest beginning fueled a relentless pursuit of audio perfection, establishing Bowers & Wilkins as a British icon in high-fidelity sound reproduction.
The brand excels in premium loudspeakers, from flagship studio monitors like the legendary 801 series—adopted by Abbey Road Studios in 1979—to accessible Domestic Monitor lines such as the enduring 600 Series. Its portfolio has expanded to encompass high-end headphones, including the iconic P5 and Zeppelin designs, alongside wireless speakers and formation systems, all emphasizing advanced driver technology, precision cabinetry, and Continuum cones for unparalleled clarity.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Bowers & Wilkins commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its engineering excellence, musical accuracy, and heritage of innovation. Far from mid-tier or niche, it rivals the elite, blending cutting-edge research from facilities like Steyning with a reputation for reference-grade performance that defines luxury hi-fi.
